Sengoku 11th Battle takes place Nov. 7 at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan. The event airs in North America on HDNet.

Gono, now in his 15th year of professional MMA, looks to snap a three-fight losing streak at the upcoming event. After losses to Dan Hardy and Jon Fitch in the UFC, Gono was cut from the organization and joined the Sengoku event series. However, his opponent, American Dan Hornbuckle, scored a dramatic third-round knockout via head kick at Sengoku Ninth Battle in August.

Gono looks for his first win in two years. His most recent victory came via second-round submission over Tamdan McCrory at UFC 78.

Kim makes his WVR debut after turning pro in 2004 and spending most of his career in the Korean-based SpiritMC organization. “Snake Eater” enters the bout with three wins in four fights and most recently defeated Kosei Kubota via first-round submission at Heat 11 on Sept. 26.

Both Ueyama and Konno began their careers with strings of losses before picking up wins in their recent fights. Ueyama went 0-3 in Japan’s Greatest Common Multiple promotion before back-to-back TKO wins in M-1 Challenge and DEEP this year. Konno, meanwhile, snapped a three-fight losing streak with a decision victory over Osuma Ishizuka in December.

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
